6 long, slender legs, 2 narrow wings, 2 long antenae, and a brown body.
Found in my front yard on the wall.
The mouthparts of mosquitoes form an elongate beak called a proboscis. Female mosquitoes use this proboscis to intake a blood meal.

That looks like a Mosquito hawk, which is a species that hunts and eats mosquitoes.
